Very interesting to see the juveniles making their debut on the Polytrack this year. The Alan Greeff-trained FIRST OFFICER is a son of Querari and could be the right one. JUST CARTER represents trainer Dean Smith, and he would love it if his first juvenile runner was a winner. J LORDI and WILD STAR also represent trainers who are adept at winning with two-year-olds and must be respected. As usual for this type of race, the betting is normally the best guide.

A number of these runners make their local debut and are trying this surface for the first time so it is tricky. LAYDELAY is the pick of them on form but she is making her local debut after a change of trainers. WITCHING HOUR did not show her best on local debut but could be smarter this time. OCEAN FLAME lacked a strong finish last time out but does have a place chance. PRICELESS TREASURE is threatening to open her account and must be respected. TOUCH THE SWORD has some fair form and has a place chance. ICE SPEAR and GENERAL PARDON can improve after changing trainers.

Two professional maidens go to the post and can fight out the finish. TERMINAL VELOCITY has been threatening for some time to win a race and could not get much more of a gift opportunity. A perfect draw and jockey Richard Fourie could do the job. OH MANDY has a similar profile and she looked unlucky not to win her latest as she was making very good progress very late. RED LHASA has been modest in two starts on this Polytrack but could be third best. CELTIQUE could pick up the fourth cheque.

A very open looking race and it could pay to go very wide in the Pick 6. PRINCESS OF BAYEUX makes her local debut. She has run in better fields than this but is trying the Polytrack for the first time. SLAINTE MHATH is unreliable but is also capable of earning money. DOWNING SEVEN hinted that he may be having a winning turn soon. BLACKBERRY BREEZE is in good form and should fight it out. HENRY'S HEDGE and FLASH LIGHTNING are both in good form and could make the frame.

EAST COAST GIRL was beaten by a good sort on this surface last time out. She has also won twice on the Polytrack and could beat these rivals. BACK FOR MORE is course and distance suited and can go close to winning. SUN SPECTACULAR and FLOWER FESTIVAL have some fair form but may need to do more to beat those other two rivals. LADY BOMBER is improving and will be doing her best work late. BLIND FAITH has a place chance.

Another very difficult leg of the Pick 6 and once again it is advised to go as wide as possible. DYNALLEY is course and distance suited and is threatening to win. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN has had a good year and should be right there at the finish again. WALKONTHEWILDSIDE is not an easy ride but she can get involved with the finish once again. BEECHAMWOOD BOY is clearly better than what he showed last time out. Stable companions WAZ WOUTER and GLOBAL STATE are capable of upsets on best form. GOLD GUNNER is another that is capable of scoring when at best.

Another open race. ABOVE THE HORIZON does like the Polytrack. He also does seem better than his recent runs would suggest and could be better than his handicap rating. OUTBACK EXPRESS showed what he is capable of with a very easy maiden win and might just follow up. PANNING GOLD makes his local debut and would not be a surprise winner. PROLIFIC STAR improved to win his maiden race and could earn more money. RUN THE WORLD and SILENT TRIGGER have scope for improvement and should also be included in the Pick 6.

ALEX MILLER is a difficult ride as he only has a short burst before tiring. He could win a race of this nature but will need luck in running. IZANAMI was a very easy maiden winner and could be better than rated on this surface. HAZE AND SMOKE only tired late last time out and could be a threat. QUEEN OF JAZZ is in good form and clearly not out of it. KILMONIVAIG was seen to be making good late progress last time out and is not out of it. OPERA VERSE and COLORAMA have place chances in this line-up.
